Come by here dear Lord, O come by here.
Hear our prayers from madness to despair.
We are overcome with grief, fear and hopelessness as we face uncertainties day by day.
Too many lack the comfort of family and friends at the moment of their death. Our sick are housed in tents in parks and arenas.
The rest of the world is sheltering behind masks, gloves, face shields and doors.
As we go into the quiet spaces of our homes, lead us to pray and to know your presence.
Enlighten our minds and hearts to realize your purposes are being fulfilled for you are with us.
Already we see cleaner air, less distraction, opportunities to know our families again and to creatively build bonds of strength for the difficult days, weeks and months ahead.
Heavenly Creator, bring us from madness and despair and instill in us your perfect peace.
